Blogcritics Magazine has a really nice interview with author, Adele Geras: ‘Write the Best Book You Can’: An Interview with Poet, Novelist and Children’s Author Adele Geras. She is amazingly prolific, having written 90 books for children, as well as novels for teens and adults!
You can also visit her website, which has incredible images from some of her picture books. The Sleeping Beauty ones by Christian Birmingham are particularly stunning.
